The Eagle-Tribune newspaper in Massachusetts reports that Keene is an eighth-grade math teacher at West Middle School in Andover.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Stratham police say that based on a complaint they recently “began an investigation into an incident where it is alleged that a local New Hampshire juvenile was contacted by an adult over the Internet. Subsequent to that contact, it is alleged that the adult perpetrated a sexual assault against the juvenile in New Hampshire.”

Following the investigation, police obtained an arrest warrant for Keene.

Andover police arrested Keene on Monday as a fugitive from justice. Keene was in a Massachusetts court on Tuesday, where he waived extradition. He is due back in court June 19.

The case remains under investigation by authorities in Stratham and Massachusetts.

Keene has been placed on administrative leave from his teaching job, the Eagle-Tribune reported.
